"Married Man in His 20s Tricks Intellectually Disabled Person with 'Let's Live Together If We Become Lovers' and Extorts 10 Million Won"

[Asia Economy Intern Reporter Kim Bong-ju] A man in his 20s, married, who tricked intellectually disabled individuals into giving him tens of millions of won, has been sentenced to prison.

On the 20th, according to Changwon District Court, Judge Park Gyu-do of Criminal Division 7 sentenced A (24), who was tried on charges including fraud, to 1 year and 6 months in prison.

From April to August of last year, A deceived an intellectually disabled person B through Facebook by saying, "If we become lovers, let's live together," and received about 10 million won in 12 installments.

In reality, he was living with his wife and son and had debts worth about 20 million won but had no ability to repay the money.

In August last year, A met B in person in Jeonju and borrowed 8 million won, saying he needed money.

He then went to the victim's house in Ansan and took another approximately 9 million won.

The court explained the sentencing reasons as the large amount of damage, the victims' requests for severe punishment, and the very bad nature of the crime, which exploited intellectual disabilities for fraud.
